Another Order~Mini-Animals Cake using Fondant

Last night got a call from my hubby's friend, Sabrina. She ordered a 2kg moist chocolate chiffon cake like I did a few months back. Huhu... Trouble was, when I baked the cakes and layed it on top of the other, it was to big to fit into the cake box. So I had to call and minta izin to divide it into two cakes. I made a Blackforrest Cake and the other moist chocolate chiffon with ganache and decorated it with fondant animals.

I think I'm getting the hand of shaping my mini-animals but it was a tricky job, doing it without the right tools. In the end I had to use a lidi to shape the mouths, ears, and other small parts of the body. Actually, they turned out pretty nice, although rather smudgy (fondant are rather sticky when you handle it too long in your hands).
